How to Cook Tomato Sauce (according don draper of database candidate’s grandma)
So in my quest to win Daily Candy’s “Get with the Programmer” contest ( http://bit.ly/voteKortina ), I had the opportunity to submit a video to lend support to my cause. The suggestions were to play guitar or do some other talent show type stuff, but this seemed silly, so I thought for awhile about what I should do.
I ended up deciding that this could be a great opportunity to share something useful cool not necessarily related to my campaign—I thought,
wow, I could make a lot of people happy by teaching them how to cook my grandma’s delicious red sauce.
So I found an old digicam under my sis’s bed and recorded a lo-fi vid instruction for the recipe.
Part of the inspiration for this idea was spending a bit of time thinking about a dude who makes awesome vids, Gary Vaynerchuck. I looked at some of Gary’s vids, and realized they are so great because he’s sharing something he thinks people really need to know, something he thinks will make people happier and better. So I hope Gary approves and I hope anyone who watches is happier for adding this delicious recipe to their repertoire.
This recipe is dead simple—the trick is not doing too much. Every time I try to get clever, the sauce ends up worse for it. KISS!
The written recipe is on the description of the youtube vid, at http://bit.ly/redsauce
Enjoy.
